The Ultimate Aftercare Guide: How to Protect Your Investment

You’ve Got the Glow—Now Let’s Keep It

Congratulations on your treatment at Victoria Aesthetic Beauty Care! Whether you just received a precision Botox treatment, a lip enhancement, or a revitalizing IV drip at our Busch Blvd clinic, the next 48 hours are crucial. To ensure you get the longest-lasting, most beautiful results, follow this expert guide.

1. Botox® & Dysport® Aftercare

The goal after Botox is to keep the product exactly where we placed it.

  • Stay Upright: Avoid lying down for at least 4 hours after your injection.

  • No Exercise: Skip the gym for 24 hours. Increased blood flow can move the product before it settles into the muscle.

  • Hands Off: Do not massage or rub the treated areas.

2. Lip Filler Aftercare

Lips are delicate and vascular, so they require a little extra “TLC” (Tender Loving Care).

  • Manage Swelling: Minor swelling and bruising are normal. Use a cold compress (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off) for the first day.

  • Stay Hydrated: Fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid, which loves water. Drinking plenty of fluids helps the filler “plump” perfectly.

  • Avoid Heat: Stay away from saunas, hot tubs, or intense sun exposure for 48 hours.

3. Post-IV Hydration Tips
  • Keep the Site Clean: Leave the small bandage on for about an hour.

  • Keep Moving: You’ll likely feel an energy boost—embrace it! The vitamins are already hard at work at the cellular level.

When Will I See My Final Results?

Patience is the final ingredient in beauty.

  • Botox: Usually takes 3–7 days to start working, with full results at 14 days.

  • Fillers: You’ll see volume immediately, but the “final look” settles after the swelling goes down in about 2 weeks.
